Summary
Welcome to June, 'Nutters!
There's plenty to discuss and we are fortunate to have Steve Helwagen here to wax poetic as Dave Biddle vacations, sunning himself in a discreet Caribbean locale.
No beach time for the Buckeyes, however. We dive deep on a few overarching topics:
* Was there a Michigan win hangover last season?
* Is Ohio State's vaunted '26 schedule actually a bit overrated?
* Julian Sayin - he good?
Then it's quality basketball chatter - yes, basketball - taking stock of where the program sits as practice begins later today.
Spent 5ish with us this a.m., 'Nutters!

| 1:09.2 | And Steve actually has to hustle out of here because the basketball |
| 1:13.0 | team have a good summer. They're back. I saw the guys move in doing the preseason look, |
| 1:19.5 | hotel look yesterday and got a chance to see all the new faces. And with basketball, |
| 1:24.9 | that means something. All the new faces, we are in an era of new faces. |
| 1:29.3 | So we're going to talk football for the first two-thirds of the show, |
| 1:33.3 | and then we're going to dive deep on the basketball team. |
| 1:35.3 | I know there are some of you who are allergic to Ohio State basketball coverage. |
| 1:41.3 | That's fine. |
| 1:42.3 | You will get your 20 minutes of football, and then you will get 10 of the best basketball minutes you that's fine. You will get your 20 minutes of football and then you |
| 1:45.6 | will get 10 of the best basketball minutes you'll ever get after that. First, Steve, |
| 1:51.5 | thanks for being here. Steve and I share a common affliction with other Bucknut staffers. I don't |
